Ridiculously easy.
Allow yourself about a minute per side for this job.

I know how to install filters, its just the last time I looked there didn't seem like that much room.

Oh definitley -- foam filters offer terrible filtration and if they begin to degrade, you can draw foam particles into the motor :ughdance:

They do offer good flow, however, so for a track only car they might be worthwhile.

Also, interestingly enough, the K&N media offers superior filtration even to the excellent AEM dryflow filters -- at least until they are both PACKED with dirt. Then the AEM flows better -- solution: clean the K&N.

For a cone filter I'd only use K&N or the AEM dryflows, the latter winning out only because they're so easy to clean and no concern regarding overoiling/dirtying MAF sensors.

That said, if the sensor does get gunked: Amazon.com: CRC 05110 Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner - 11 Wt Oz.:…

Once you open the hood, there's about 2 metres of clearance for the filter holders to slide out.
Loads of room!

Haven't tried it yet, but doesn't look too complicated

Its almost as easy as pulling your oil dipstick out and putting it back in, twice!

It takes my dip stick more than two times.

theses are in my future, i will post a huge DIY with a million photos for everyone

NewYorkJon34 06-25-2010 11:43 PM

I only glanced at it a few times, I take another look at the air boxes when I get a chance. If anything I'd get these to tide me over till I get my Stillen S/C

Just ordered a pair of these yesterday with the Cobb post maf hoses to go along with them.

Personal experience: 1. I was getting 12-13 days to a tankfull; now I'm getting 14-15 days. 2. The torque band improved at the low end. Well worth a $60 investment!

Before you all freak at how cheap j.arnaldo got his, remember that his car only takes one.

I dropped about $90 on mine (2).

Oh, for anyone doubting how easy it is... a better pic from the owner's manual on this...

Super easy and a smart design, you can change them out really quickly!
